MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 140 outer chamber
Cold sweat broke out on Gu Fei's back.
Ever since he followed Pei You, he knew that his eldest son didn't like socializing. There are very few officials in the court who interact with him, and every time the son meets those people, his whereabouts are hidden and unknown to outsiders.
This is the first time that he followed Pei You to deal with the courtship of the North Korean forces.
But he didn't want the other party to come, so he took a strong dose of medicine.
The woman knelt on the ground in a rough and simple shirt, worn so thinly in winter, with a long neck exposed, if it wasn't for her appearance, she would be so unattractive, he almost suspected that she did it on purpose.
However, this woman...does she look somewhat similar to his wife?
No, no, far worse than his wife.
His wife has a moth-browed head, round and jade-like beads, fragrant and soft at first glance...
Take it!
If the son knew what he was thinking here, would he have to kill him? !
Gu Fei's face was full of thoughts, wishing he could just leave, but the Fourth Highness opposite him was still rambling:
"My cousin knows that I love to travel, so I went to Tianjin Wei last month, and I saw this woman very familiar, but after some questioning, she had an accident when she was ten years old, and she couldn't remember anything. "
"Her family members also died in that accident. They have been adopted by an old lady these years and live under the name of 'Sanskrit Yin'."
"Although the appearance has changed a little, and the name is not the same, but I looked at it, and I was still worried, so I brought it to my cousin to have a look."
Gu Fei frowned, what does the Fourth Highness mean by this?
Chu Heng continued to say leisurely: "My cousin is an old friend of her, and I have been looking for her for many years, so I must be more familiar with her. Take a look, if it is an old friend, it is worthwhile for me to visit, if not, I will send her away again." Just go back."
Gu Fei couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, what does the Fourth Highness mean...
This woman is the one whom this world has been looking for for a long time...Miss Xiaoya?
Gu Fei subconsciously looked at Pei You, and saw him sitting firmly on the grand teacher's chair, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, casually turning the white jade finger on his thumb, his eyes glanced at the face of the woman in front of him, but he was usually indifferent , I can't see any leaked emotions.
No way...
The eldest son of his family seems to have a marriage contract with that Xiaoya girl, if it is true...
Gu Fei couldn't bear it anymore, he took a step forward with one foot, and stopped again.
Impossible, hum.
At the beginning, he had dug the capital, including several major towns near the capital, three feet into the ground, but he didn't dig up the woman, so how could he be bumped into by the Fourth Highness?
Can…
Gu Fei took a closer look at the inconspicuous woman again, she was really similar to the portrait drawn by Shizi.
Gu Fei's thoughts turned so much, but Pei You remained motionless, only lowered his eyes and then raised them, slowly staring at the woman in front of him, his eyes fluctuated, and he didn't speak.
Chu Heng already had a chance of winning in his heart.
In his opinion, the fact that Pei You didn't walk away on the spot has already explained the problem.
After all, he is not that stupid, and directly said that this woman is Xiaoya who wants to force him. He gave her a reasonable reason for her disappearance for many years, and let him identify it himself.
Pei You went all out to search for her for so long but found no results. Apart from the fact that she is no longer alive, is there any more reasonable explanation than "accidental amnesia"?
Sure enough, Pei You stared at the person for a while, then leaned down on his knees: "What's your name?"
Gu Fei’s heart skipped a beat, it’s over, Shi Zi’s reaction, it must be true...
Seeing the woman shaking her eyelashes, her voice was trembling slightly, and she said in a low voice, "Slave... Slave's name is Sanskrit."
Chu Heng was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Yinyin, why don't you offer a cup of tea to your son?"
Sanskrit Yinyin was stared at by Pei You for so long, her heart was already trembling, how could she pour tea?
Fortunately, Fan Liu saw the clue, and directly poured a cup of tea to her hand. Fan Yinyin resisted the trembling of her hands, and raised the cup of tea: "Master, please... please use tea."
Pei You leaned back on the grand master's chair, and casually turned the finger.
There was a moment of silence in the wing room.
Chu Heng gave Fan Liu a wink, and Fan Liu signaled him not to worry.
Gu Fei's heart was pounding. Although it was the first time he came to this kind of occasion, he also understood what it would mean if the crown prince took this cup of tea.
Sanskrit Yinyin was trying to resist the trembling of his hands. At this moment, he held the teacup high, but he was not picked up for a long time. After a while, there was a crisp shaking sound between the cup lid and the teacup.
Chu Heng became a little impatient when he heard it.
Fortunately, he specially trained her for several months, so she couldn't get anything out of hand!
Just when he was about to lose his temper and was about to ask someone to come back, Pei You spoke.
"Gu Fei, didn't you just say you were thirsty?"
Gu Fei: "???"
No! I am not thirsty! I am very good my son!
Pei You glanced over.
Gu Fei: "..."
He stretched out his hand to take the cup of tea: "Thank you... Thank you Miss Fan."
Just as he poured the cup of tea, he saw his eldest son get up: "I'll take him away. Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, I will remember this favor."
Walked to the tea table, poured out a cup of tea: "Tea instead of wine, thank you, Your Highness."

Compared to the elegant and graceful Yunting Tower, the style of Jufeng Pavilion is more luxurious. Even the screens in the wing rooms are inlaid with gold.
The size of the wing room is also more generous than that of Yunting Building.
So as soon as the visitor left, the room seemed a little empty.
Chu Heng looked at the untouched dishes on the table, and his mind was already far away: "Fan Liu, tell me, did Pei You accept it or refused it?"
If he said it was accepted, he didn't take the tea from the Sanskrit sound and drink it.
If he refused, he took the person away, and the scene was full of words.
It actually made him a little unpredictable for a while.
"Your Highness, Pei Shizi has a deep mind, how can it be easy for others to see what is in his heart." Fan Liu smiled and bowed to serve Chu Heng, "But he is such a cautious person, if he sees him, he will be able to see it easily." It is strange to be sure that it is the person I am looking for, and I must take it back for inspection."
Chu Heng nodded slightly, but it was true, if he was a good-natured person, he wouldn't have given him so much thought.
"It's still the same sentence, so what if he sees that he is a counterfeit?" Fan Liu comforted his master, "Let's wait and see what the next move of Pei Shizi is, and then we will know whether this move is about to reach the military goal or not." .”
Chu Heng's eyes sank slightly, and a little smile leaked out of them.
After all, he accepted it, his elder brother, but he couldn't even invite anyone to a private dinner.
At the side door of Jufeng Pavilion, Gu Fei was at a loss.
His family's eldest son actually took that girl away!
Now the next carriage becomes two carriages, and the girl sits in the carriage behind them, what is going to happen? Take it back to the Duke's mansion?
It's just like sitting on pins and needles!
Gu Fei is not unaware that the sons of other families who are the age of their eldest sons, their children are gone everywhere, and it is common to have a few concubines in the mansion.
But their son...
On weekdays, there is not even a maidservant in the yard, and a person who is as elegant and pure as a banished fairy actually accepts a girl?
It's just... Defiled!
Gu Fei was heartbroken. According to his usual habits, he would take the initiative to ask where Pei You went, but now thinking of the girl following behind him, he didn't want to ask.
He didn't ask, but Pei You in the carriage remained silent all the time, making no sound at all.
After about a stick of incense, Gu Fei couldn't bear it anymore and found a way for himself.
The eldest son probably accepted it because of the face of His Highness the Fourth Highness, so he didn't want to offend him?
Just thinking about it, Pei You called from the carriage: "Gu Fei."
Gu Fei hastily turned around and lifted the curtain.
Pei You sat at the tea table where he usually sat. He never took a book or lit a lamp. There was no trace of heat in the cup of hot tea on the table. He only lowered his eyes slightly, his face as quiet as a frozen lake in winter.
Gu Fei lifted the curtain, but he didn't speak immediately, and only tapped his index finger on the tea table.
The carriage is too quiet, compared with the bustling market outside, it looks like two completely different worlds.
Gu Fei's distracting thoughts just disappeared, and he only called softly: "Your Majesty?"
Pei You tapped her index finger for the last time, put her five fingers together, and raised her eyes: "I have a mansion in Wutong Lane, you take her to settle there."
Gu Fei couldn't help but opened his mouth. Of course he knew who this "she" was.
This is to...
"In the past two days, take someone to buy some items and send them over." He looked at Gu Fei quietly, "as a wedding gift."
Marriage ceremony?
Gu Fei took a deep breath, but Pei You didn't give him a chance to say more: "Go."
Gu Fei stalked his chest again and again, and finally took the order: "Yes."
Just as Gu Fei left, Pei You pulled out the eagle whistle in his sleeve. Not long after the whistle sounded, a figure in the dark got on the carriage: "My lord."
Pei You rubbed his white jade finger lightly, and said quietly: "Put forward what Gu Fei has done."
Tu Bai raised his head unexpectedly, but he didn't ask any more questions, he just bowed his head and said yes.
"Also." Pei You just picked up the cup of tea on the table, "Since His Majesty the Fourth Highness gave such a big gift, let's give him back the Xia family from Xiangchun Street."
He pushed open the window of the carriage, flicked his wrist, and poured out the cold tea.

Wen Ning had a very happy time these days.
On the eve of the opening of the pharmacy, He Luan wrote to her, saying that she had discussed with Wen Lan, and raised her ideas with Wen Tingchun openly. The condemned people sent men's clothing tailored to her figure into the yard.
So from the first day of the opening of the shop, He Luan has been sitting in the pharmacy for consultation.
Not only He Luan was here, Duan Rushuang was also there, Wen Ning was free, so naturally she went to the medicine shop every day, and there was what outsiders often saw, the three young princes opened the door at 3:30 every morning and closed at 3:00 Shen , The business is done lightly and casually.
Although there are not many customers in Daily Pharmacy, this kind of experience is still new to Wen Ning.
The three girls chatted and laughed together, listened to Duan Rushuang's business classics, and learned some herbs with He Luan. Occasionally, patients came to the store, and while they were treating patients, they could also listen to some parents' complaints. In Wen's mansion, it's much more interesting to go to Chang'an Street to have a little trouble alone.
Not long after, Wen Ning became acquainted with her neighbors, and suddenly understood why Linglan always liked to deal with those nuns outside the house.
In the market, the news is always the fastest. The nuns are old, have a wide range of contacts, and their speeches are extremely exaggerated. They often hear many interesting anecdotes.
The medicine shop is next door to an embroidery workshop. The proprietress is in her early fifties, and she is sharp and sharp. When talking about things outside, she talks more twists and turns than a storyteller.
Wen Ning had already studied embroidery, and when she was free in the pharmacy, she often went to the next door.
Today, she was squatting in front of an embroiderer's embroidery frame, watching her skillfully do genuine Su's double-sided embroidery.
Although she is dressed in men's clothing, her face looks tender. Most of the embroidered ladies are women in their 30s and 40s. When they look at her, they just think of her as a teenager in their 14s and 15s, and they don't set up defenses against her.
A group of embroiderers gathered together, chatting while working.
What they were talking about was the lively things that happened in Beijing two days ago.
His Royal Highness King Rui, who is so high above him, even secretly raised a foreign room in Beijing, and even let the foreign room give birth to the eldest son.
This is the blood of the royal family!
It is said that the dignified and virtuous Princess Xie of King Rui kicked open the door of the outer room herself, and almost hanged her on the spot.
On the day of the incident, the entire capital exploded.
Wen Ning was the instigator of this incident. The first time I heard it, I didn't think it was too strange. I just thought about Pei You to find out? Are you willing to believe what she says?
At the moment, he casually left one ear, mostly to see how the embroiderer stitches.
This embroiderer is from the capital, and her needlework is different from that of Jiangnan, but the effect is similar. The main reason is that this needlework is obviously more suitable for her.
She learns a bit, maybe next year she can really exchange a double-sided embroidered sachet for Pei You.
Just watching it with enthusiasm, a embroiderer next to him sighed a long time: "If you want to talk about this man, who doesn't steal? It looks like no matter how serious a man is, do you know who else has raised him besides King Na Rui?" room?"
"I know, I know, I heard about it yesterday, I'm not busy discussing about King Rui, so forget about it!"
"I seem to have heard someone mention it. It is rumored that Gao Jie was born in the world and spoiled his wife too much, right?"
"Tsk tsk, isn't it him? He was still 'doting his wife' a while ago, and now he is doting on the outside room. He said that he is about to collect all the rare treasures on Chang'an Avenue and send them to people's yards! What a ruined image. !"
"You can't say that, I heard that the one in the family is the one who was married when I was young, and now the one in the house is the dove occupying the magpie's nest!"
"No matter who is a dove and who is a magpie, this person has already married into the family, and it is wrong to have a second wife!"
Wen Ning heard that the group of embroiderers were about to quarrel, and came out to smooth things over: "Eh? You've all heard of it, why didn't I know? Which high-ranking family has such absurd things happen again?"
Immediately, the embroidered lady answered her: "Which other high-ranking family can you be? Isn't there only one person in this capital who can be called 'noble and noble' and 'loves his wife too much'?"
Wen Ning was half squatting on the ground, and now she held her cheek and thought about it.
"Oh, you are bullying Mr. Wen because he is young and ignorant! How could he know that in this capital city, there are people who are known as noble and pure, and who dote on their wives too much..."
Before Wen Ning could figure it out, the embroidered lady beside her laughed loudly: "Only the Prince Pei from the Duke's Mansion!"
